To:

Dear Sir/Madam,

Greetings from CSIR-North East Institute of Science & Technology (NEIST) Jorhat, Assam, India.

Due to several physical communication constraints brought about by the CoVID-19 pandemic situation, the practice of disseminating knowledge and ideas through webinar, a live interactive event where attendees join via their desktop or mobile device over the internet, have significantly proliferated. While research activities, including research exchange and collaborations, during this unprecedented situation have decelerated, it is imperative to boost the morale of the students and researchers by provisioning opportunities to interact with eminent personalities of their research interest. 

In course with this, the Geoscience & Technology Division (GSTD) of CSIR-NEIST Jorhat would like to conduct an INTERNATIONAL VIRTUAL WORKSHOP on "Global Seismology & Tectonics" series targeting the geosciences students and community, during 14-25th September, 2020 to be delivered by eminent  speakers as per the schedule appended below.

Important Information regarding the Workshop:

(1) The virtual workshop, in the form of a series of lectures, would be held via Microsoft Teams, an internet based visual communication platform. The participants are requested to download and install Microsoft (MS) Teams software in their desktop or mobile devices. (https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/microsoft-365/microsoft-teams/download-app)

(2) Registration link: https://forms.gle/x5KHkVt8UxnaU3G67

(Last date of Registration: 11 Sept, 2020)

(3) Event link: http://www.rrljorhat.res.in/NEIST%20GSTD%20Workshop%202020.pdf

(4) The MS Teams links for the respective sessions will be provided to the registered participants through email.

(5) E-certificate shall be provided to registered participants upon request, however, with at least 80% overall attendance in the virtual workshop.

The Brochure and the schedule of the programme can be found by clicking the Event link.

Please forward these details to any colleagues you think might be interested in joining the workshop series and direct them to sign up for the mailing list by visiting our website/link as mentioned above.
